Update stock fog lights to LED driving

Greetings to all. I would like to upgrade my stock 05 Excursion fog lights to LED driving lights. Does anybody know if there are LED driving light bulbs that will fit the stock housing?

Yep. I bought
these these
off Amazon and had 'em swapped out in minutes. It's a little more difficult if you have a front license plate that you don't feel like removing but even then it's only 15 minutes.

Since you were asking about an LED conversion bulb, 9145 or 9005 will work. For the OEM halogens, the difference is the coated tip and lower wattage of the 9145. Either will fit in the housing. For LED conversion, its the same lamp either way.

Just a little confused. I have two replies that say it's a go and one that says it's not go. The upgrade I want to do is install LED's in the stock FOGLIGHT housing. Thanks.

Yes, the ones I linked to are what I am using in my F250 and will also install a set in my Ex.

I'm not asking about anything, the OP is.

I was pointing out that the link you provided is for headlights? And the OP was asking about fog lights?

That's why I was confused, but that happens easily to me that's why I said it was only a quick glance.

How is the distance/throw of light on these?
